All the finding features of the Apple Find My app

Ever wished your lost keys could just shout, 'I'm over here!'? We might not be able to help with that one, but we have the next best thing!

A Chipolo that works with the Apple Find My app so that you can find your things with ease.

Below, you can browse through the ultimate list of all the features in the app that will help you find your lost Chipolo Spot or AirTag in no time.

Play Sound

When your item finder is close enough to your phone to connect through Bluetooth, you can make your misplaced things ring in the Find My app.

The ring range can vary depending on obstacles but it usually stretches up to 60 meters (200 feet).

The Play Sound feature is convenient for quickly finding your car keys or wallet when they get lost in the wrong pocket or somewhere in your big bag.

Stop sound

Found your stuff and don't need the Chipolo to ring anymore?

No need to use the Find My app on your iPhone, just press the button on your Chipolo Spot to stop its ringing.

There’s a button hiding inside your Chipolo ONE Spot that enables you to add your ONE Spot to the Find My app for the first time, but you can also use it to stop its ringing when you find your things.

The ‘Stop Sound from your Spot’ feature is available for all Chipolo Spot finders but does not work with AirTags (no button!)

UWB tracking

Ultra-wideband tracking is like a high-precision GPS for your stuff when they hide indoors.

Through it, the Find My app gives you visual and haptic feedback when you’re within about 30 feet (10 meters) of your lost item.

In the app, you'll see an arrow pointing you in the right direction, and your iPhone might even vibrate as you get closer.

UWB tracking is only supported in Apple’s AirTags and works with iPhones that have a U1 chip (iPhone 11 or newer).

Last known location

This feature can be a lifesaver that will help you track down your things when they get lost outside your phone’s Bluetooth range.

It works by recording the last known location when your Chipolo Spot or AirTag was connected to your phone through Bluetooth and displaying it on a map in the Find My app.

Lost Mode

In essence, Lost Mode is like sending out a call for a global search party for your lost item.

It's a powerful tool that can help you recover your valuables and give you peace of mind in stressful situations.

When activated, you'll receive a notification on your iPhone if the Find My network, which all iPhones are a part of, locates your lost item. This means that if any iPhone comes within Bluetooth range of your lost item, its location will be anonymously and securely relayed to you.

For AirTags, you can also add your phone number or email to the information in the Find My app that will be displayed on the screen of the finder’s iPhone (if applicable) when they scan the tracker with their smartphone.

Notify When Left Behind:

No more worrying about forgetting your keys, wallet, or other essentials. The Find My app will remind you when you’re about to leave your house without your keys or backpack.

The alert is triggered when your iPhone loses the Bluetooth connection with its tracker and can be enabled or disabled for each Chipolo Spot or AirTag individually.

You can even designate certain places, like your home or office, as "safe locations." where the app won't send you notifications.

Notify When Found

Left your wallet somewhere? Turn on this feature, and you'll get a ping if another iPhone user walks by.

The "Notify When Found" feature leverages the power of the vast Apple Find My network to help you locate your missing belongings. The feature is also automatically activated when you enable "Lost Mode.

When active, your lost Chipolo Spot or AirTag will send out a signal that other Apple devices in the network can detect.

When another Apple device comes within range of your lost item, its location will be anonymously and securely relayed to you with a phone notification.

The person who found your item won't be notified, and their location remains private, so it's a completely anonymous process, ensuring everyone's privacy.

Share This Item

Sharing is caring (and it helps with finding lost car keys too)!

This feature is all about teamwork! It lets you share the location of your item tracker with friends and family, making it easier to keep track of shared belongings like car keys.

You can choose who you want to share your tracker with, and each person has to accept the ‘share invitation’ before they can see your item's location in the Find My app on their iPhone.

They will also be able to play a sound if the item is nearby or mark it as lost if it goes missing.

You can also stop sharing an item at any time and choose if you want to share all its location history or just its current location.

At the moment, sharing is only available between devices running iOS 17 or later.

Unknown Items Detected with You

In essence, this feature is a proactive safety feature that helps protect you from unwanted tracking.

All iPhones periodically scan for nearby unknown AirTags or other Find My network-compatible trackers that are separated from their owner.

If your iPhone detects one moving with you, you'll receive a notification on your iPhone and the finder will even start playing a sound so you can locate it.

In the notification, you’ll be able to see some basic information and the Find My app on your iPhone will also provide steps on how to identify and disable it.

At the moment, this feature is limited to Bluetooth trackers that work with the Apple Find My network or Google’s Find My Device network.

Identify a Found AirTag

Found an AirTag? The Find My app can help identify its owner (and maybe even reunite them with their lost item!).

The feature uses NFC (Near-Field Communication) technology, which enables short-range communication between your iPhone and the AirTag you found.

When you hold the tracker near your iPhone the app will automatically detect the AirTag and display a notification on your phone's screen.

Tap on the notification to open a webpage with the AirTag's serial number and, their contact information (if the owner has enabled Lost Mode).

Important note: This feature only works with NFC-enabled smartphones.

Find My Lock

When activated, Find My Lock requires your Apple ID and password to pair the tracker with any device, keeping your Chipolo Spot or AirTag safe from unwanted pairing.

This means that even if someone else finds your Chipolo Spot or AirTag, they won't be able to connect it to their own device and track its location.

The feature is automatically activated when you enable Lost Mode, which adds an extra layer of security, preventing anyone from tampering with your tracker.

You can enable or disable Find My Lock at any time in the app.

With Apple's Find My app and a Chipolo Spot or AirTag, you can turn those 'Where did I put that?' moments into a fun, stress-free finding experience.
